What was it she said?Miracles occur in the doing of the ordinary.What you do every day.Really?No Abracadabra?No magic wand?No special hand motions.No hocus pocus.Just doing what I do?Just doing what you do?

Miracles happenIn all those ordinary moments
When we do what we do each dayAnd, also do our best to doTo beWhat we understand God* wants/needs/calls us to do.To be.(*Substitute The World or Your Neighbor if you swallow hard when you hear the word God.)
Today.
Not tomorrow.
Right now.
Not when we think we are ready.No clap of thunder.No special fanfare.Just you and me.Showing up.

This reflection was prompted by this morning’s sermon by the Rev. Laurie Krooss, Pastor of the Second Congregational Church, Londonderry, VT based on the story found here.
